The shipping traffic through the Means of Bosphorus is temporarily interrupted.
The reason is strong fog, the state broadcaster TRT reported, citing the Turkish Ministry of Transport. Traffic stands still in both directions. There has been a lot of snow in Istanbul since noon. According to the weather forecast, the next four days should also snow with interruptions.
The Bosphorus runs through the Turkish metropolis and divides it into an Asian and a European part. It is one of the most important waterways and trade routes in the world. The Bosphorus connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara. Because numerous ships happen every day, there is usually high traffic density.
